its just a radio. he puts it through the pa and twiddles with the dials at the beginning of 'the national anthem'. the resulting sounds are entirely dependent on whats on at the time. at glasto 2003 he tuned into some bbc type broadcast about the 1966 world cup final. on the 'i might be wrong' live album i think its some italian stuff, as the concert was recorded in rome. sorry if you were hoping it was some form of insane effects unit. incidentally, the theremin like device he controls with a ring on his finger is called an 'ondes martenot'. its ancient, like from the 20s, and is STUPIDLY expensive. like tens of thousands of pounds. What i really want is his massive wall of modular synth gubbins that he uses as a drum machine in ideoteque...
